• Open to all AMA members!
• There will be four scored events. Balloon bust, egg drop, timed flight, and finally a spot landing. Bring whatever you think you can fly the best.
• The balloon bust will have a small balloon tied 10 feet above the runway and you will have three passes to try and pop it for the most points (1-5 points).
• In the egg drop you will be provided with a paper cup, 1 egg, 1 popsicle stick, 2 rubber bands. It will be up to you to figure out how to successfully take off then carry the egg without breaking it. Whoever drops their egg closest to a target on the runway will win 5 points.
• Timed flight starts when your wheels leave the runway. From that point you will have 1 minute to climb as high as possible. The judge will tell you to kill you engine or motor after 1 minute. Then you have to land as close as you can within a minute without any timing assistance.
• Spot landing. You will have one attempt to land on a target that will be placed on the runway.
• $2 entry fee. Trophies for 1st, 2nd, 3rd!

Pylon race #8 had yet another short turn out. There was seven racers in total and Brian Young raced in every class . Every hand was needed for either counting or judging the pylons.

With such good conditions there were no lost airplanes.
